This unique project began in 2017 with a handful of concerts celebrating the 50th Anniversary of ‘The Cream’ in Australia and New Zealand.

Such was the response, the show was thereafter seen hundreds of times, by tens of thousands of fans, across North America and the U.K, many selling out! For 2022 and beyond, The Music Of Cream hit the road with a new show honouring the original band’s landmark recording of Disraeli Gears. Concerts will feature the album performed in its entirety during the first set, followed by a second with the hits and rarities from Eric Clapton, Blind Faith and Cream. The Music Of Cream continues to feature family members Kofi Baker (son of Ginger) on drums and Will Johns (Clapton’s nephew and son of Zeppelin/ Stones engineer Andy) on guitar and vocals.

Along with the legendary music, the show features storytelling, photographs and integrated videos, many of which have not been seen before, so that even the most diehard fans are guaranteed a night to remember.

KOFI BAKER – GINGER’S SON (Drums & Vocals)

Son of legendary drummer Ginger Baker, Kofi Baker is a name synonymous with drumming excellence; he not only continues, but extends the family legacy. The DNA is unmistakable!

Kofi’s first live performance was with his father on the cult UK tv music show “The Old Grey Whistle Test” – at just six years of age he proved he had inherited more than just his father’s name.

It’s no wonder he has forged his own long and distinguished career working with legends like Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Roger Waters, Nile Rogers, Tom Jones, Jack Bruce, Steve Marriott, Uli Jon Roth, Rick Derringer, Glenn Hughes, Robben Ford and many more.

His own albums include Lost City and Abstract Logic, with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane.

WILL JOHNS – ERIC’S NEPHEW (Guitar & Vocals)

Eric Clapton encouraged his nephew to play the guitar from an early age. This provided an auspicious start for Will, who is also the son of legendary recording engineer & producer Andy Johns (The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix), and nephew of fellow producer Glyn Johns, (The Who, Eric Clapton, The Eagles).

Will can also count Mick Fleetwood and the late, great, George Harrison, as uncles. He has performed onstage with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Steve Winwood, Nile Rogers, Ronnie Wood, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman, to name but a few!

The outstanding blues guitarist has released four solo albums. His latest release, 2021’s “BLUESDADDY”, shot to the top of numerous high ranking blues charts, worldwide.
